The topic of ghosts has always started at night. Because ghosts cannot see the sun.
The night is shrouded in the earth, and in the distant sky, a crooked crescent moon hangs high, casting a faint icy moon bloom on the tree houses.
In the countryside, immersed in the quiet darkness, people have already fallen asleep after working all day. Occasionally one or two dog barks were weak, causing a commotion among the chickens and ducks in the cage, making a “chicking quack” noise.
The village head Yang’s house was still lit, and all the lights were turned on in the main room, shining like daylight. The men and women squeezed half of the room, and everyone looked solemn. Needless to say, this battle is also a major event.
Yes, the long-term wife of the Yang family died. It is May 7th. It is said that May 7th is the day when the ghost returns home. Yang’s wife Tian Guigui committed suicide by throwing herself into the river, and she wore a bright red dress when she died. Then the ghost is back home, can the Yang family not be nervous?
The door of the main room was closed tightly. Old man Yang, the head of the family, took off his shoes, squatted on a chair, holding his knees in his hands, and holding a dry pipe with a jade cigarette holder in his mouth. No one looks at it. Behind him is the old woman with a fist and a big hair bun, shrunken and thin, curled up in the corner of the room and the sofa, and dare not let out the atmosphere. Yang’s son Yang Hong, holding his head in both hands, sat stupidly on the solo sofa, next to his mother. The second son, Yang Zhu, sat side by side on the couch with his daughter-in-law who can talk with eyes, each with a pillow in his arms, whispering something in a whisper.
The Yang family’s two daughters, Yueyue and Momo, calmly occupied the two ends of the large wooden bed on the back wall. Yueyue held a shoe sole in her left hand, and her right hand pinched a large needle that was dragged with twine on her buttocks. She swung it around her hairline, and grinned at the sole of the shoe. “Tugged the hemp rope. Mo Mo is holding a piece of wool that is about to be finished, and is crocheting the lace of his neckline. The two of them looked at each other occasionally, and then continued to do their own things.
Yang Hong’s two twin sons exchanged glances and tiptoed towards the door.
“What are you going to do? Just stay there, don’t want to go anywhere.” Old man Yang said, as if he had eyes on the back of his head.
The two boys stretched out their tongues, shrunk their necks, stopped by the door, and secretly looked at the door of the west wing in the courtyard with the glass of the door.
The West Wing is a forbidden place for people to stop tonight. Except for a table and a chair, the house was almost cleaned. On the table of the Eight Immortals, there are four dishes, four bowls, four meats and four vegetarians, a table dish half-baked, plus a tin jug, a wine cup and a pair of chopsticks. It was left for the eldest wife Tian Guigui who returned home to enjoy. When I was full and drunk, I completely broke off my relationship with my family. I went to the Wangxiang stage to take a last look at my relatives in my hometown, stepped on the Naihe Bridge, and reported to the Yinsi.
At the corner of the Eight Immortals table, a small oil lamp made of a bottle was lit. The mouth of the bottle was covered with a drilled round iron piece, and a thick cotton rope passed through and was put into the bottle containing half of the rapeseed oil. The cotton rope absorbed enough oil and knotted on the end of the rope. A big flame is bright. The lights flickered, shining bright and dark in the room, quite a gloomy scene of the Yama Temple.

“Woo–” A siren sounded in the distance. That is the night train passing by outside Yangzhuang Village, usually this point should be around 12 o’clock in the night.
In the hall, the tired old and young men and women woke up from their sleep.
“Alright, it’s time.” Old man Yang muttered in his throat. Focus on the eldest son Yang Hong. The latter gave him a bitter look in his eyes, and Old Man Yang hurriedly withdrew his gaze. Knocked the smoking pot on the corner of the chair a few times, reached into the purse and squeezed the rope for a while, dug out a pot of shredded tobacco, pressed it firmly with my finger, and struck a match to light it, “Hey, hey” Smoked.
The old lady Yang took a peek at the old man, quietly stretched out her sore legs, her left index finger digs a few eye shit at the corners of her eyes, two pointed fingers Twisted and twisted, bounced off.
Yang Zhu pushed away his wife’s head that was tilted in his arms, stood up and straightened his waist, kicked his legs and feet, looked around, and sat back on the sofa again on.
The sound of the train flute drove away the sleepiness in the room. Everyone also had some energy from just taking a nap, but no one wanted to talk. Everyone turned his mind. .
Old man Yang:
“Hey, what a wonderful wife, she is not sharp or abducting, she is much stronger than the second one. Pei. Why can’t I think of an intestine? Why are you willing to throw two calf-like sons into the river? How cold the water is. I heard that people who seek impermanence will also be punished when they are in the world of darkness. In the ice pool behind Yinshan Mountain, it’s bitterly cold.
I also blame the old man. I lived sixty to three for nothing. How can I be so lard-hearted for a while and say such silly things? That day, I just got off the ground and put a hoe on my back. I heard my granddaughter was making a fuss and refused to take milk, so I went to coax the child:’Wan’er, eat grandma, stop eating, grandpa can eat it.’ At that time, Hong My son’s face was cold, and he mumbled “I’m not serious” and carried the child into the house. At that time, my old face was so embarrassed that there was no place to put it on, and I wished that a hole in the ground collapsed so I could get in.< br>c2();
What to say, talking in this house, she knows, I know, the baby is still young, how can it spread all over the world? Hong’er Come home and curse me with my nose and gouging my eyes, and it’s better to call me a pig or dog, saying that he gave him a green hat for me. God, but I was wronged. I just said that I missed my mouth, where are those dirty thoughts? But who told me to say that? Gui Gui, the damn thing is I am not you! “
Old lady Yang:
“Guigui, daughter-in-law, knowing the wrongdoing of your death, they say that you and your father-in-law are not clear , I also said that you and Biaozi on Houzhuang also have a leg. But I know that is not true. My old man, although he didn’t wait to see me since he married me, he never showed a smile. But he is also a real man, and he hasn’t stalked a dog in a few decades. I am also puzzled. How can it be said that the old man picks up dust and talks about noses and eyes? If I were to be fair to the old man, maybe it would be fine, but I was thinking that these old men were treating me hum haha and didn’t take it as a human being, thinking about this, the people gave me a sigh of relief. It.
If you want to talk about Houzhuangshang Biaozi, you are also wronged. Others don’t know. I can see the truth from the window. That day, the family looked for Biaozi to build the stove. The nail on the wall hung Biaozi’s clothes with a triangular hole, and you helped to sew them together. Isn’t it just stitching on the body and biting a thread? It was spread all over Zhuangzi, saying that the Guigui man was not at home, and the waves were boundless, and Biaozi led the house to sleep in the day. Yeah, it’s terrible, my old lady feels embarrassed. But why should I just listen to people’s grinning, why don’t I help my wife be innocent? Your father-in-law always said that the people in my life are not like humans and ghosts. Isn’t it? “
Second daughter-in-law:
“Sister-in-law, today is the day when you return home, why do I panic in my heart?
People die like a lamp, where are there ghosts and souls? I don’t believe it. It doesn’t matter if you die, my eyebrows are open and my eyes are open, insisting that I am a bad lady who disturbs the family. What blames me. I don’t have a door to this mouth. I want to say how to do it. If I don’t talk, it will kill me. But that’s no wonder I, the fly doesn’t hold seamless eggs.
Let’s just talk about what happened a few years ago. Our two families are separated by a low wall. That day, I was picking loofahs against the wall and listened to the father-in-law over there saying: “Wan’er, come on. Grandma, if you don’t eat it, I can eat it. I looked down the space of the loofah vine, and I clearly saw my father-in-law standing in front of you slouching, with your arms wide open, revealing two big grandmothers like white buns. Am I burying you? I just told Xitouzhu his mother as a joke, who knows who she said to? It made the villagers know this, saying that the father-in-law was picking up the ashes of his daughter-in-law.
I dare not say if there are any. But I think my parents-in-law are partial. The same son and daughter-in-law help you with the work in your field and home, and I don’t know how to get dry and wet, and I don’t know how to live diligently and thriftily. Humph, why did Li Xiulan become a grass stick to support your eyes? Do you like me so?
Let me talk about the Biaozi’s thing, I said it is true. Oh, your man can’t stand it if he’s not at homeGot it? Why did you lie on someone’s shoulders when you find a young man to say it’s work? I don’t know what you do in the field and live in bed.
Sister-in-law, life and death have fate and wealth in the sky, and you have a long life with flies and shit, no wonder I. What’s wrong, find your man. Humph! Don’t think I don’t know. ”
